sarahcd Posted February 18, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Freedom...FlowRider, H20 zone, rock wall, ice skating, inline skating, better itinerary - and we KNOW what we're getting on RCCL (we've done the Mariner) Epic...rock wall, rapelling tower, bowling alley, climbing cage, WATER SLIDES - and the UNKNOWN On Freedom we would do two connecting promenade cabins, Epic would be one balcony quad cabin - comparable in price. We could do a balcony quad on Freedom, but my 10 year old was not comfortable on Mariner's lay-down-sofa-thing when he was 8. My son will be 11 and my daughter will be eight. Any thoughts anyone?

cb at sea Posted February 18, 2010 #2 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Purely for the 2 cabins is why I'd pick RCI! So much nicer than all in one room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianTwosome Posted February 18, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm stunned that you can get two balcony cabins on another line for the price of one on NCL - even on the Epic. Wow. You missed a couple of things on Epic, also - Nickelodeon, Blue Man Group, and Dueling Pianos are included entertainment, and the specialty restaurants include a variety of Asian fare, a steakhouse/churroscaria, French, Italian, and Cirque Dreams (can't wait for that one!). We've also found that the whole Freestyle concept works well for our family. If, however, you really can get two cabins for the price of one - and a better itinerary - then I'd definitely go with RCI. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freedom has a promenade on Deck 5 - it's like an indoor street with shops, a cafe, a few bars, Ben & Jerry's, etc... So on decks 6, 7 & 8, there are interior rooms that have bowed windows overlooking the "street", like a hotel room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
